Such forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of our management and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond our control. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

In addition to factors previously disclosed or that will be disclosed in VTAQ’s reports filed with the SEC and those identified elsewhere in this Current Report on Form 8-K, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results and the timing of events to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement or could otherwise cause the transactions contemplated therein to fail to close; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against VTAQ, Presto, VTAQ or others following the announcement of the Business Combination and any definitive agreements with respect thereto; (3) the inability to complete the Business Combination due to the failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of VTAQ or Presto; (4) the inability of Presto to satisfy other conditions to closing; (5) changes to the proposed structure of the Business Combination that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws or regulations or as a condition to obtaining regulatory approval of the Business Combination; (6) the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards in connection with and following the consummation of the Business Combination; (7) the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of Presto as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination; (8) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of VTAQ to grow and manage growth profitably, grow its customer base, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its management and key employees; (9) the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the business of Presto and VTAQ (including the effects of the ongoing global supply chain shortage); (10) Presto’s limited operating history and history of net losses; (11) Presto’s customer concentration and reliance on a limited number of key technology providers and payment processors facilitating payments to and by Presto’s customers; (12) costs related to the Business Combination; (13) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (14) the possibility that Presto or VTAQ may be adversely affected by other economic, business, regulatory, and/or competitive factors; (15) Presto’s estimates of expenses and profitability; (16) the evolution of the markets in which Presto competes; (17) the ability of Presto to implement its strategic initiatives and continue to innovate its existing products; (18) the ability of Presto to adhere to legal requirements with respect to the protection of personal data and privacy laws; (19) cybersecurity risks, data loss and other breaches of Presto’s network security and the disclosure of personal information; and (20) the risk of regulatory lawsuits or proceedings relating to Presto’s products or services.

  

Actual results, performance or achievements may differ materially, and potentially adversely, from any projections and forward-looking statements and the assumptions on which those forward-looking statements are based. There can be no assurance that the data contained herein is reflective of future performance to any degree. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a predictor of future performance as projected financial information and other information are based on estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to various significant risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. All information set forth herein speaks only as of the date hereof in the case of information about VTAQ and Presto or the date of such information in the case of information from persons other than VTAQ and Presto, and we disclaim any intention or obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of developments occurring after the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Forecasts and estimates regarding Presto’s industry and end markets are based on sources we believe to be reliable, however there can be no assurance these forecasts and estimates will prove accurate in whole or in part. Annualized, pro forma, projected and estimated numbers are used for illustrative purpose only, are not forecasts and may not reflect actual results.

 

No Offer or Solicitation

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K is not intended to and shall not constitute a proxy statement or the solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities in respect of the Business Combination and shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy or subscribe for any securities or a solicitation of any vote of approval, nor shall there be any sale, issuance or transfer of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.

Investor Presentation January 12, 2022

 

 

Forward - Looking Statements Certain statements in this Presentation may be considered forward - looking statements . Forward - looking statements generally relate to future events or Ventoux CCM Acquisition Corp . (“Ventoux”) and E . la Carte Inc . dba Presto (“Company”) future financial or operating performance . For example, projections of future Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Net Dollar Retention, New Publisher Growth, and other metrics are forward - looking statements . In some cases, you can identify forward - looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “expect”, “intend”, “will”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “predict”, “potential” or “continue”, or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology . Such forward - looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward looking statements . These forward - looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Ventoux and its management, and the Company and its management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain . Uncertainties and risk factors that could affect the Company’s and Ventoux’s future performance and cause results to differ from the forward - looking statements in this presentation include, but are not limited to : the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the proposed transaction involving the Company and Ventoux (such transaction, the “Business Combination”) ; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Ventoux or the Company, the combined company or others following the announcement of the Business Combination ; the inability to complete the Business Combination due to the failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of Ventoux or to satisfy other conditions to closing ; changes to the proposed structure of the Business Combination that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws or regulations or as a condition to obtaining regulatory approval of the Business Combination ; the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards following the consummation of the Business Combination ; the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of Ventoux or the Company as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination ; the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and retain its management and key employees ; costs related to the Business Combination ; changes in applicable laws or regulations ; the Company’s estimates of expenses and profitability and underlying assumptions with respect to shareholder redemptions and purchase price and other adjustments ; ability to attract new customers ; intense competition in the restaurant technology space, including with competitors who have significantly more resources ; ability to grow and scale the Company’s business through new relationships with restaurants and customers ; ability to make continued investments in the Company’s AI - powered technology platform ; the need to attract, train and retain highly - skilled technical workforce ; the impact of the ongoing COVID - 19 pandemic ; reliance on a limited number of partners for a significant portion of the Company’s revenue ; ability to enforce, protect and maintain intellectual property rights ; and risks related to the fact that we are incorporated in Delaware and governed by Delaware law ; and other risks and uncertainties set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward - Looking Statements” in Ventoux’s final prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated December 23 , 2020 and in subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including the proxy statement relating to the Business Combination expected to be filed by Ventoux . Nothing in this Presentation should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward - looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward - looking statements will be achieved . You should not place undue reliance on forward - looking statements, which speak only as of the date they were made, January 12 , 2022 . The inclusion of these projections does not constitute republication or affirmation thereof as any other date . Neither Ventoux nor the Company undertakes any duty to update these forward - looking statements . Non - GAAP Financial Measures This Presentation includes certain financial measures not presented in accordance with GAAP including, but not limited to, Adjusted EBITDA and certain ratios and other metrics derived therefrom, including free cash flow, and related margin measures . These non - GAAP financial measures are not measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing the Company’s financial results . Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows from operations or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP . You sould be aware that the Company’s presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly - titled measures used by other companies . The Company believes these non - GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations . The Company believes that the use of these non - GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends in and in comparing the Company’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non - GAAP financial measures to investors . These non - GAAP financial measures are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non - GAAP financial measures . Please refer to footnotes where presented on each page of this Presentation for a reconciliation of these measures to what the Company believes are the most directly comparable measure evaluated in accordance with GAAP . This Presentation also includes certain projections of non - GAAP financial measures . Due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections of some of the information excluded from these projected measures, together with some of the excluded information not being ascertainable or accessible, the Company is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable effort . Consequently, no disclosure of estimated comparable GAAP measures is included and no reconciliation of the forward - looking non - GAAP financial measures is included .

Use of Projections This Presentation contains financial forecasts with respect to the Company’s projected financial results, including Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, for the Company's fiscal years 2021 through 2023 . The Company's independent auditors have not audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this Presentation, and accordingly, they did not express an opinion or provide any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this Presentation . These projections should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results . The assumptions and estimates underlying the prospective financial information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the prospective financial information . Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the prospective results are indicative of the future performance of the Company or that actual results will not differ materially from those presented in the prospective financial information or that the prospective financial information will be the same as that presented in the proxy statement related to the Business Combination . Inclusion of the prospective financial information in this Presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results contained in the prospective financial information will be achieved . Industry and Market Data In this Presentation, the Company relies on and refer to certain information and statistics obtained from third - party sources, which it believes to be reliable . The Company has not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of any such third - party information . You are cautioned not to give undue weight to such industry and market data . This Presentation may include trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights of other companies, which are the property of their respective owners . Solely for convenience, some of the trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights referred to in this Presentation may be listed without the TM, SM, (c) or (r) symbols, but Ventoux and the Company will assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, the right of the applicable owners, if any, to these trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights . Additional Information These communications are being made in respect of the Business Combination . These communications do not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities or a solicitation of any vote or approval, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such jurisdiction .

Ventoux’s shareholders and other interested persons are advised to read, when available, the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus included in the Registration Statement and the amendments thereto and the definitive proxy statement/prospectus, as these materials will contain important information about the Company, Ventoux and the Business Combination .

All references to the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to the business of E La Carte, Inc . d/b/a Presto . The risks presented below are certain of the general risks related to the business of the Company, Ventoux CCM Acquisition Corp . (“SPAC”), and the proposed transactions between the Company and SPAC, and such list is not exhaustive . The list below has been prepared solely for purposes of the private placement transaction, and solely for potential private placement investors, and not for any other purpose . You should carefully consider these risks and uncertainties, together with the information in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes and should carry out your own diligence and consult with your own financial and legal advisors concerning the risks and suitability of an investment in this offering before making an investment decision . Risks relating to the business of the Company will be disclosed in future documents filed or furnished by the Company and/or SPAC with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the documents filed or furnished in connection with the proposed transactions between the Company and SPAC . The risks presented in such filings will be consistent with those that would be required for a public company in their SEC filings, including with respect to the business and securities of the Company and SPAC and the proposed transactions between the Company and SPAC, and may differ significantly from, and be more extensive than, those presented below . Risks Related to our Business and Industry : • We have a history of generating net losses, and if we are unable to achieve adequate revenue growth while our expenses increase, we may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future. • If we fail to manage our growth effectively or to sustain our recent revenue growth, we may be unable to execute our business plan, maintain high levels of service and customer satisfaction, or adequately address competitive challenges. • Members of the Company’s management have limited experience in operating a public company. The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources and divert management’s attention, and the increases in legal, accounting and compliance expenses that will result from being a public company may be greater than we anticipate. • If we do not attract new customers and increase our customers’ use of our platform, our business will suffer. • Our limited operating history with our new vision and voice products in a new and developing market makes it difficult to evaluate our current business and future prospects and may increase the risk that we will not be successful. • Since we recognize revenue from the sale of our products over a multi - year term, downturns or upturns in sales are not immediately reflected in full in our results of operations. • We generate a significant portion of our revenue from our two largest customers, and the loss or decline in revenue from any of these customers could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition. • If we fail to continue to improve and enhance the functionality, performance, reliability, design, security, or scalability of our platform in a manner that responds to our customers’ evolving needs, our business may be adversely affected. • Our brand is integral to our success. If we fail to effectively maintain, promote, and enhance our brand, our business and competitive advantage may be harmed. • We are dependent on the continued services and performance of our senior management and other key employees, the loss of any of whom could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition. • Our ability to recruit, retain, and develop qualified personnel is critical to our success and growth. • If our technical and maintenance support services are not satisfactory to our customers, they may not buy future products, which could materially and adversely affect our future results of operations and financial condition. • Any future litigation against us could be costly and time - consuming to defend. • Our pricing decisions and pricing models may adversely affect our ability to attract new customers and retain existing customers. • If our technical and maintenance support services are not satisfactory to our customers, they may not renew their services agreements or buy future products, which could materially and adversely affect our future results of operations and financial condition. • Increases in food, labor, and occupancy costs could adversely affect results of operations. • We and certain of our third - party partners, service providers, and subprocessors transmit and store personal information of our customers and consumers. If the security of this information is compromised, our reputation may be harmed, and we may be exposed to liability and loss of business. • We are subject to stringent and changing privacy laws, regulations and standards, and contractual obligations related to data privacy and security. Our actual or perceived failure to comply with such obligations could harm our reputation, subject us to significant fines and liability, or adversely affect our business. • Security breaches, denial of service attacks, or other hacking and phishing attacks on our systems or the systems with which our platform integrates could harm our reputation or subject us to significant liability, and adversely affect our business and financial results. • Interruptions or performance problems associated with our technology and infrastructure may adversely affect our business and operating results. • Defects, errors, or vulnerabilities in our applications, backend systems, hardware, or other technology systems and those of third - party technology providers could harm our reputation and brand and adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations. • Unfavorable conditions in the restaurant industry or the global economy could limit our ability to grow our business and materially impact our financial performance. Summary Risk Factors 40 Confidential – Do Not Distribute

 

 

• We may require additional capital, which additional financing may result in restrictions on our operations or substantial dilution to our stockholders, to support the growth of our business, and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. • We have outstanding secured debt that contains financial covenants and other restrictions on our actions that may limit our operational flexibility or otherwise adversely affect our results of operations. • Our business is highly competitive. We may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors, and strategic transactions by our competitors, our customers, or our partners could weaken our competitive position or reduce our revenue • Our sales cycles can be long and unpredictable, and our sales efforts require considerable investment of time and expense. If our sales cycle lengthens or we invest substantial resources pursuing unsuccessful sales opportunities, our operating results and growth would be harmed. • The estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth included in this presentation may prove to be inaccurate, and even if the market in which we compete achieves the forecasted growth, our business could fail to grow at similar rates, if at all. Risks Related to the COVID - 19 Pandemic: • The ongoing COVID - 19 pandemic has adversely impacted and may continue to adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations. • The COVID - 19 pandemic has resulted in global supply chain shortages, that we expect to continue in the foreseeable future, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial results. Risks Related to Third Parties: • We rely primarily on third - party insurance policies to insure our operations - related risks. If our insurance coverage is insufficient for the needs of our business or our insurance providers are unable to meet their obligations, we may not be able to mitigate the risks facing our business, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. • We rely on a limited number of suppliers to provide part of the technology we offer. Thus, we are at risk of shortages, price increases, changes, delays or discontinuations of hardware, which could disrupt and materially adversely affect our business. • We rely substantially on a select few payment processors to facilitate payments made by guests and payments made to customers, and payments made on behalf of customers, and if we cannot manage risks related to our relationships with this payment processor or any future third - party payment processors, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected. • We rely on computer hardware, purchased or leased, and software licensed from, and services rendered by third parties in order to run our business. • We depend on the interoperability of our platform across third - party applications and services that we do not control. Risks Related to Regulatory, Legal and Compliance Matters: • Payment transactions processed on our platform may subject us to regulatory requirements and the rules of payment card networks, and other risks that could be costly and difficult to comply with or that could harm our business. • Significant changes in U.S. and international trade policies that restrict imports or increase tariffs could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. • We could be required to collect additional sales taxes or be subject to other tax liabilities that may increase the costs our customers would have to pay for our products and adversely affect our results of operations. Risks Related to our Intellectual Property: • If we fail to adequately protect our intellectual property rights, our competitive position could be impaired and we may lose valuable assets, generate reduced revenue and become subject to costly litigation to protect our rights. • We may be subject to claims by third parties of intellectual property infringement. • We use open - source software in our platform, which could negatively affect our ability to sell our services or subject us to litigation or other actions.

Risks Related to SPAC and the Business Combination: • Ventoux Acquisition Holdings LLC and Chardan International Investments, LLC (together, the “Sponsors”) and certain SPAC stockholders affiliated with the Sponsor have agreed to vote in favor of the business combination, regardless of how SPAC’s public stockholders vote. • The Sponsors, directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination which may be different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) the interests of its stockholders. • There can be no assurance that the common stock issued in connection with the business combination will be approved for listing on the NASDAQ or that the combined company will be able to comply with the continued listing standards for NASDAQ, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in the combined company’s securities and subject the combined company to additional trading restrictions. • Substantial future sales and future resales of the combined company’s outstanding shares may cause the market price of its securities to drop significantly, even if its business is doing well. • The consummation of the business combination is subject to a number of conditions and if those conditions are not satisfied or waived, the business combination agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms and the business combination may not be completed. • The ability of SPAC’s stockholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to SPAC’s public shares may prevent SPAC from completing the business combination or optimizing its capital structure. The SPAC may be able to complete the Business Combination even though a substantial portion of its public stockholders redeem their public shares. • If third parties bring claims against the SPAC, the proceeds held in trust could be reduced. • Stockholder litigation and regulatory inquiries and investigations are expensive and could harm the SPAC. • The SPAC board or our Board may agree to changes or waivers in the terms of the business combination. • SPAC’s stockholders, directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates may elect to purchase shares or public warrants from public stockholders or public warrant holders, as applicable, or enter into other transactions with investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire public shares, vote their public shares in favor of the initial business combination or not redeem their public shares . These transactions could influence the vote on the business combination, impact the market price of the Company’s securities and reduce the “public float” of the Company’s securities . • A significant portion of the combined company’s common stock following the business combination will be restricted from immediate resale, but may be sold into the market in the future . This could cause the market price of the Company’s common stock to drop significantly, even if the Company’s business is doing well . • The combined company may issue additional common stock or other equity securities without your approval, which would dilute your ownership interests and may depress the market price of your shares . • The future sales of shares by existing stockholders and future exercise of registration rights may adversely affect the market price of the common stock • Each of the Company and SPAC will incur significant transaction costs in connection with the business combination . • SPAC and the Company will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the business combination is pending . • Unanticipated changes in effective tax rates or adverse outcomes resulting from examination of SPAC’s and the Company’s income or other tax returns could adversely affect the financial condition and results of operations of the post - combination business. • Subsequent to the completion of the business combination, the Company may be required to take write - downs or write - offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and the Company’s share price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment. • A market for the combined company’s securities may not be available on a consistent basis, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of the combined company’s securities. • If the business combination’s benefits do not meet the expectations of investors, shareholders or financial analysts, the market price of the combined company’s securities may decline. • If, following the business combination, securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about the combined company, its business, or its market, or if they change their recommendations regarding the combined company’s common stock adversely, then the price and trading volume of the combined company’s common stock could decline. • If, following the business combination, the combined company’s “public float” is perceived to be insufficient to allow for adequate trading volumes and liquidity, the value of the combined company’s common stock could decline. • The combined company may not have sufficient funds to satisfy indemnification claims of our directors and executive officers. • If the SPAC is deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, it may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and its activities may be restricted, which may make it difficult for us to complete the business combination. • We are an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if we take advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to “emerging growth companies” or “smaller reporting companies,” this could make our securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare our performance with other public companies.
